About Zermatt

Zermatt is one of the most famous mountain resorts in Switzerland, and attracts people from around the world. Located in the German-speaking part of Valais, its most popular sight is the iconic Matterhorn, one of Switzerland's most famous mountains. It comes at no surprise then that the town of Zermatt caters mostly towards skiing, hiking and mountaineering. Though its fame has also a downside, the town is busier and much more expensive than other destinations in the region.
